What customers say about the Pimsleur SPANISH audios:
I like the Pimsleur system. I have used it with Traveler's Spanish, the Spanish I, and for French. I prefer the cassettes to the CDs becasue of they are easier back up so as to retrace areas. The concept of listen/repeat in your car on the way to work without alot of book-study at the lower levels is effective, easy, fun. -- Stephen McHenry, Olney, MD, USA
I have been using a number of
recorded Spanish lessons to learn Spanish on my own, including
the Foreign Service Institute course (Mastering Spanish, levels
1 and 2) and lessons from learningspanishlikecrazy.com. One of
the best things about the Pimsleur's Spanish series is that it
has more interactivity than the other courses I've used. There
are many set up situations where you interact back and forth
with a recorded speaker. I have found this to be very helpful
in practicing for real live speakers. Mastering Spanish, for
example, has a lot more single-sentence utterances you copy,
but less back-and-forth. (I understand the new Platiquemos
tries to correct for this problem.)
Another good point about Pimsleur is that it uses a repetition
pattern developed by Dr. Pimsleur that has worked well in
helping me memorize the material. They present a word or phrase
several times, go on to other things, then go back to that
recently-learned phrase again. A bit later, they hit it again.
I find this to be very effective in helping me remember the
material. -- Gary Bisaga, Leesburg, VA,
